    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

First link is to the APE pods, which most people say are the same as K N pods but are only 59$US for a set of 4.

The second link is a KN versus APE pods forum discussion from some other forum.
I use the ape pods on my 1100 E. My bike came as a non runner with the crappy China pods so I cant say anything about the before and after on how they perform.
I can say they are nice quality and BIG savings over the K N .

You will have check the intake diameter of the carbs on your 550 and that of the bikes they list in the APE bike chart.
Doesnt your 79 550 have the old style carbs? VM's?
I dont personally know if they make pods for that size carb throat. You will definately need to check the dimensions. on all those .

I was wondering about those APE pods, they have a few different models that it will fit on... none of them are the 550. Do the 750 models use CV-BS32's too?

Do they have the same velocity stack shaped boot too?
 
My other bike is set up for pods, currently stripped for new coils, sus fork seals, electric timing. so sorry for not getting bk to you. I was so determined to fix things myself. If this all goes wrong, I am going to rent a van and you will have two bikes in your workshop!!.
